Help understanding danish payslip?

[syntel]

So, finally. After 2 months I received my tax card and today I received my pay slip digitally via e-boks. According to Skat I should pay 39% taxes plus I get around 4000DKK tax free each month. However when I now opened my payslip I can see "Fradrag 0" and "Traek 60%". Under "Ydelser i alt" it says 39000, and "Fradrag i alt" is 25000. Till disposition via nemkonto is 14000. Does this mean that my salary is only 14000?? And that they actually have withdrawn 60% taxes? Of course the people responsible for salaries are gone for christmas. :( Or have I misinterpreted the payslip completely? I'm getting a bit worried.

It is your responsability that they have your tax card. You will (if your tax returns are correct) get back the surplus tax you have paid some time after june 2009. For next year, you should get around 23.000 after taxes according to the information above.

Yes, I know. That's why I asked the personel office to hold my salary until my tax card was finished. And when I spoke to them last week they had received it from Skat and told me that my salary would be on my account the 30th December. That's why I'm so confused. I really needed the money now, not in June. This means that I more or less get 50% less than I should receive. :( And I guess it also means several more weeks of work with Skat in order to pay the correct taxes on next salary (when I first applied for a tax card they said it would take no more than 2 weeks, when it in reality took 8 weeks and required a lot of e-mails reminding them to fix it..).

Well.. that sucks.. You can actually fill out your tax returns before 31 december 2008 and get the surplus tax back before 1 february 2009, if you know what to do. You can talk til SKAT and make them help you. Just tell them you want it according to "Kildeskatteloven §55".

Or talk to your personell office, and have them correct the payment according to your taxcard. That is probally the easiest way, since a payout according to Kildeskattelovens § 55, can take some time to process by SKAT. But its still faster than to get your money back on your tax return.
